"Sadly, neither of the specimens I bought took. Nearly all the other many items I purchased from High Country have done amazingly well, mostly skipping the sleep part of sleep, creep, leap, and going directly for creep or leap. Can't all be winners, I reckon."
"Only one of the Prairie zinnia is growing. Plants were shipped 4-11, and received 4-17. As you see from the photo, one only is growing well, the others should have started by now. Please replace if you can, or apply a credit. All other plants are doing very well. Thanks!"
"They arrived smaller and more Flimsy than expected but seemed fine and healthy They are planted and will see if they spread!"
"I really, really wanted these. They were out of stock for a long time, and so I ordered a collection specifically to get two of them. Promptly after doing so, they became available, and I ordered five more. All arrived very small and noticeably dry. I obediently planted them promptly, and they perked up a bit. Then, we had a freeze, and that set them back badly. As they were recovering, there was a second Spring freeze. One didn't recover. Two struggled along for a bit longer, and then they too gave up. The remaining four are now almost 6"" tall. The thickest one is 8"" across. Three are beginning to show buds. They appear to prefer sprinkler to drip irrigation. 6,950 elevation, annual precipitation 11 inches."
"I live at 6300ft in an area where both plains zinnias and 4'clocks grow wild. Plains zinnias are xeric, yes, but they survive the dry by staying dormant until the monsoons hit. Even then, they are particular about where they thrive. Typically you'll find the flowers on the eastern side of junipers, or little draws; they benefit from some shelter from the afternoon sun and the extra moisture of these spots. I've planted this particular cultivar in a similar fashion on an east facing hill and they are doing well. The occasional rabbit nibbles on them, but I expect that the ease up once other browse returns with the monsoons."
"I live in Idaho's most ideal rabbit habitat. The rabbits eat everything, down to the dirt. I only buy plants that are rabbit resistant, because watching them destroy things is not too fun. They rout ely eat the coral bells, coneflowers, and black eyed Susan's all the way to the dirt. They sit on my spruce and eat it away. The only things they leave alone are the agastache, juniper( field mice eat the juniper), Rosemary, lavender, and sage. Like other perennials, though, even though the rabbits bite this all the way to the ground, prairie zinnia return. It's a good investment. The color looks good around/under my other plants."
"I was clueless as to what to plant in the TX how summers and I had three conditions to work with. All are drought resistant areas. I reached out to High Country asking for ground cover that would work in an area with sun from 8-5, 12-5, and 3-5. This was one of the suggestions. . It's doing very well. I love it and plan on purchasing more. I started with only two that were about the size of a think pencil. 8 months later and they have spread to about 12 inches. perfect for our pool area ground cover. Unfortunately September we have had 13+ inches of rain when its normally 1/2 inch. they are still thriving"
"I live at 5900' on the plain East of the Rockies. Summer temps are typically in the mid 80s to 90s, and you've got to factor in the thin air at this elevation to appreciate the fierceness of the sun. While this plant may be slow to establish itself, it is beautiful, and hardy, ignoring (or enjoying!) the reflected heat in its Southern exposure from the stucco wall behind it, and the flagstone walkway in which it chooses to creep. It complements the Perovskia and Caryopteris, and harmonizes beautifully with the Zauschneria."
"Experimenting with ground covers that are xeric, and deer and rabbit resistant to compete with the weeds in my highlands garden (6500'). ZG has taken awhile to get started and spread, but is now looking more like what I was expecting with more lush blooms. It has received enough water to stay alive and grow slowly, but is now thriving (3-4 years later) after this years' monsoon season began. I may begin to transplant it to other areas to see if it will grow. I like that it has sweet yellow summer blooms. Rabbits and deer don't eat it and I have not had to keep in caged except for the first year when I was worried that one little test-chomp from a deer would outright kill it before it even started."
"This plant met and went beyond my expectations. It was planted in a low water garden (watered once a month, weekly in 90+ degree weather in our hot dry summers), in lean clay with 2"" gravel mulch. So bright and eager to flower. I planted just one to see how it would do in that area and will definitely add more."
